Feeding Wheat Bran.

Feeding corn meal and hay will keep
calves and colts fat; but the animals will
not grow rapidly unless fed oats, wheat bran
or oil-cake in addition. BY many wheat
bran is preferred to oil-cake for young ami
mails, because it is not so concentrated, and
does not tax the digestive organs so severely,
Calves grow very rapidly when fed corn
meal, oats, wheat bran and clover hay, be
cause such feed furnishes them with muscle
forming matter they need. Ii wheat bran
is kept in the slop-barrel,.. the pigs will
grow faster. A good slop for pigs is made
by pouring hot water over wheat bran, and
feedilEiwhile yet warm. Sir John Eawes
states that the manure made by sheep from
bran is worth more thanthe bran originally
costs Mature sAeep do unusually well
when fed bran. and young sheep make a
greater gain from it. Young animals can
maslicate bran before they can grain or hay.
and at this early period of life it furnishes
them carbohydiete and albuminoids in the
proportion needed. Bran Is as cheap a
stock food as most Farmers can use. There
are several distinct grades Of bran offered in
the market varying considerably in quality
and price, The coarsest, known rs "com-
mon bran," weighs thirty pounds pcrhushel
ship stuff weighs thirty pounds, "mit-
dlinae" weigh forty pounds and The finest,
called "sharps," fifty pounds. Under "miil
leed' is understood all the various grades of
bran of country mills mixed together,

War Against Insects.

From the American Agricultuist
Whoever undertakes to grow house plants
enlists for war against dry atmosphere,
dust and insects, aud the greatest Of these is
insects. The most injurious insects are
not those large enough to be removed by
hand, but the minute plant-lice or Aphides,
called by the gardener Green fly. Nosooner
does new and tender shoot, two or three
inches long, push forth, than it is beset all
over round and round, with these Innocent
looking insects, as close togetheras they can
stand, each with It's little snout (proboscis,
II you like 1t better), stuck INTO the tender
shoot, and all sucking away Tor dear life.
Inc insects grow, Dut the shoot does not.

Winter in City and Country.

Because there is little open air life every
indoor attraction in winter, of a social ma
ture is promoted. This is all fine, but the
horrors ofstorms in the city must not be
overlooked /; the streets filed with snow, the
struggling horse car and truck horses, the
spectacle every few rods of horses falling, and
then the chilly air, the result frequently of
salt and snow mingled and the worse than
one side of the street and frozen on the 9TH
er, the sunlessncss of one sideof nearly every
streot--if bright for Il little while in the
morning, then dark and cold in the after
noon-and in many streets, owing. to the
height Of the buildings, devoid of sun at all
times; from the same cause the wind seem
ing to blow from all quarters.

and New Hampshire and in Northern

posed to very low temperature; but the

drawn down into his coat collar, face pale

spectacle gentlemen whom have seen turn
ing the corner out of street running cas-
and west into one running north and south
when the wind, laden with fine needles o
ice, was rushing as through groove. at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. A blizzard i!
undoubtedly worse, but nothing elsois.
In the country one has the wind from on'
quarter if it is a northwestern northwest
er it is, and the citizen can adjust himself tC
it. He can walk with it if it suits his con
venience, or if competent he can prope
against it even if he has to tack. If, how
ever, he remains indoors he has what t.
every healthy mind and body is a stimulen

Something New in Skirts.

Many of our leading mOdistes are
looking forward to something startling
by the way of change in arrangement
ofdress skirts. They are promised in
the near future short dinner and visit
ing dresses, devised by notable French
dressmakers, which are to. be exceed
ingly smart by introducing four full
breadths at the back of the skirt, the
silks and satins for these to be of the
stand-alOne" quality.
This is, however, a phase of simplicity
which costs much more than elabora-
ton. A skirt made with one plated
frill or ruche around the edge, and
otherwise wholly plain, breathes of
economy and moderation, but when
that skirt is made of some very costly
fabric-satin, velvet, silk or brocade-a
different result is reached.
Then, again, the cut of plain skirt
must be unexceptional. Upon a trim
med skirt false snip of the scissors
may be craftily concealed by the clever
disposition of garnitures draped above
it, and even a greater error may be
remedied by the addition of daintily
devised tunic or pannier sash, which no
one would suspect as being happy
second thought to a faulty original de-
sign. If. then, the forrean style of
dress really succeeds abroad once more,
and this eventually obtains favor in
America, there will be fnis to those
deft economics, which, after all, do but
prove the inferiority of the modiste as
compared with the tailor.

A History of the State of Delaware

Messrs. L. J. Richards & Co., Phila-
delphia, announce that they will pre-
pare and publish, as soon as the nee
essary work can be performed, after
the success of the project is assured, a
history of the State of Delaware, in two
volumes.
1t is the object of the publishers to
make the history thorough and COM
plete. and to that end, its literary prep
aration will be conducted by exps-
rienced and capable editors. w. S.
McNair will have charge of the literary
part of the work, and will be assisted by
Alfred Mathews, and other writers of
the publishers corps. Prominent cit
liens in the State have also expressed
their willingness and desire to contrib
ute to this department of the proposed
work.
The history will contain-in addition
to the matter outlined in this prOspec-
tus-biographies, and will be suitably
illustrated with old-time scenes, historic
and public buildings, portraits, fac
SMILES of old records, maps of old
routes, etc. The mechanical execu-
tion, paper, binding, etc, will be of the
best, and the work will make two
Royal Octave volumes of from 500 to
600 pages each; size of type page, ok
81 inches. A carefully prepared alpha
betical index will be given.

Mrs. LiVermOre Talks Of the Dan
gers That Threaten our
Republic.

Mrs. Mary A. LivermOre lectured
last week in Wilmington on "The
Perils of the Republic" She spoke for
an hour and half, and was listened
to with great interest by those present.
The perils which she considered most
threatening to the safety of the re-
public were intemperance. oppression
of the laboringman and the enormous
wealth of the country. She believed
that instead of trying to stamp out the
labor organizations, something should
be done to elevate them and make
them actually subserve the interests of
labor instead of being kind of ma
chinery by which, as at present, great
deal of harm is done through the igno-
rance and prejudice of the members.
She dwelt at some length on the un-
equal distribution of wealth as one of
the problems that must be solved. The
wealth of the country amounts to
$43, ,OOO,O 900, enough to purchase
the property of 17O,OOO,OOO of the in
habitants of Europe. The wealth in
this country is too much in the hands
of the few.
She also strongly favored the adop-
tiOn of woman suffrage, as a step that
would lead to the extinction of the
liquor traffic. She closed with the ex-
preston of a belief that these problems
would be successfully solved in the
future. She quoted the prOphesy of
Wendell Phillips that the labor ques-
ton would be successfully solved after
a struggle from twenty-five to fifty
years, and with it would come the
emancipation of woman and the ex-
tinctiOn of the liquor traffic.
